Steven Tyler mumbled something unintelligible like “boom shakalaka baby”. Jennifer Lopez believes Naima should still be standing there, but worried about the how she (kind of…) butchered the song. The judge ended up recognizing the idea was good and she loves to see her perform. Randy Jackson said the reggae version was corny.

Corny indeed! What the heck? The idea and arrangement is smart, but what was Naima thinking? I hated the fake Jamaican accent. That’s certainly not who she is. Naima is most probably in danger of leaving tonight.
